She is too modest; if it had not been for her, we should undoubtedly have had no "Last Tycoon" at all. Not only did she bring him the gossip; she provided him with the base and supported hÍ1n with the confidence that gave him the heart to return to his serious work, and anyone concerned with Fitzgerald must feel a special satisfaction that it has been possible for Sheilah Graham, with little vanity and no sentÍ1nentality, to do her- self this overdue justice. It was im- possible, while Zelda was alive" for Fitz- gerald to marry Sheilah, and it was impossible, after his death, for a biog- rapher or editor to acknowledge her help. In the biography by Arthur Miz- ener, Sheilah Graham is not lnentioned by name, and this episode of his final years, so important but then difficult to deal with, had to be given too scant at- tentIon. T HIS hiatus in the story h(:ls now been filled, and the lnemoir by Sheilah Graham turns out to be the very best portrait of Fitzgerald that has yet been put into print. Zelda Fitzgerald's nove] "Save Me the Waltz" was merely a facet of the fantasy that he and she lived together; Arthur Mizener had never known Fitzgerald and did not in certain respects perh(:lps very well understand him; Budd Schulberg did know him briefly and in his novel "The DIsenchanted" was able to reproduce quite faithfully the way Fitzgerald talked and behaved when, confronted with something that frightened hÍ1n, he went to pieces and took to clowning (though some of the lines I have seen quoted in reviews of the play recend} made froln this novel would have given poor Fitzgerald gooseflesh). But Sheilah Graham shows us Fitzgerald at both his worst and his best, and, never having been fused into the Fitzgerald fantasy, has been able to put together a picture which, though intimate, is calm and ob- jective. Weare do long way here from Attis- Adonis. When Sheilah Graham first knew Fitzgerald, he had for some time been safely on the wagon; In Hollywood, he went out to few parties, and, when he did, would remain in the background and usually get away early, before the heavy seas began. But his regime was upset by a trip to Chicago, where Sheilah was to make a broadcast. She had not yet got the hang of radio and was some- what nervous about it, and Fitzgerald went along to give her moral support, JANUARY 2. 4- '9 5 9 * WHAT IS THIS? *Disenchantment ln the Tun- nel of Love -- caused by un- loverly coughing.
